Optimised Cobot Deployment

Automation with human collaboration has grown from strength to strength with more and more stakeholders of the automotive industry coming forward to pilot it. The Sars-CoV-2 might have only compelled the industry to leapfrog much before envisioned. With the total value chain brought to its knees and green shoots emerging only after growth came to a standstill, cobots are being projected as the go-to strategy to address the supply-side bottlenecks. On the supply-side, stakeholders, are turning to companies like Universal Robots to address the manpower crunch, the need to fire on all cylinders to boost productivity ahead of the festive season and to increase efficiencies on the whole. The availability of affordable and energy-efficient industrial cobots and rise in investment in R&D activities is no wonder claimed to have contributed to the growth of the global industrial cobot market.
